Would in a way make sence. It would not be able to be manipulated by emotions or a sob story. If done correctly it should judge based solely on the wording of the law. And not with human emotion or allowed to give warnings. Which when looking through law you will find there are no such laws that allow for warnings. It's usually discretion given to judges.

Yes please. They'd probably be waaaay better than current judges at being able to tell who is an actual danger to society. More people are imprisoned in America than anywhere else in the world and more than 60% of them are in for nonviolent offenses. Meanwhile cops can gun down unarmed civilians and choke people to death for selling loose cigarettes without getting indicted.

it would be nighmare for those Changers to criminal society..for those sucking from several ID cards Chicago narco dillers and later senators and PotUses..it would be nightmare for their accomplices and for their supporters selling not drugs but uranium to the enemy declared if even it might mean in few years that uranium is killing masses within..So it will never be

Also, the robot did get sentenced to 25 years in prison because I was sentenced to death but since it was a robot, the prison system used the robot to make lots of money for them before it was turned back over to be a judge again, LOL.

I feel some judges are shockingly lenient towards serious criminals, as if life is worth just a few years. I'm okay with a robot being the judge because at least it follows the guidelines of set laws, based on programmers overseen by a team of respected lawmakers picked 1 out of every state.

It would create actual justice, our system runs on the Illusion of justice. The system can't handle actual justice based on factual data. Bill Cosby has to go free because he is the first TV African american Dad.... Nobody cares that he is a pervert and rapist.... Robots can't figure that crap out.

Why stop there? Why not 3-D print the mice fully grown, skipping both birth and raising. Zip forward: Perfect children that not need be raised and zero stretch or stress marks on parents. Now THAT would be impressive. :p

With what NASA stated about making clouds etc etc awhile back....let's use common sense, no such thing as global warming but there is such a thing as manual global warming. Plus the Earth goes through its changes regardless but again, Whether admitted or not by nasa, this is a crock

Please remember many research projects are government funded and highly politicized. Many law makers are tied to lobbyists that are tied to contributing companies that can greatly benefit from science research that favors their company goals and bottom line. Gathered data can, will and has been skewed for profit. Follow the money, it most always corrupts. Governments, businesses, unions, religion, charities and private individuals are all susceptible to greed wherever money pools. Science is no exception and any data can be manipulated in terms of how it is collected and how it is interpreted.

Thank you for your post Eric Betz.. It is a touching story and worthy of becoming spaceflight lore... My personal congratulations for this out-of-the-world recognition to James Lovell and the wonderful dedication to his wife Marilyn . Bravo ! David Tovell
